Dept. of the Interior. Pension Bureau. Dear Sirs.
May 14. I asked for information regarding John Fairfield, Waterbury revolutionary Pensioner - See Conn Men of the Rev. p. 649. Hearing the appeal was not received I write again as I desire information regarding himself and family - He probably lived at Watertown until 1789 was a part of Waterbury as Westbury Parish. I shall be grateful for anything your records can give me - Yours sincerely, (Miss) Emma S. Tomlinson

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 14 th ultimo, you are advised that on the list of Invalid Pensioners printed in 1835, who had been inscribed on the roll of the Connecticut Agency, and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1814, it appears that John Fulford a Sergeant in the Revolutionary Army was pensioned at the rate of $30. per annum from September 4, 1793, under the Act of June 7, 1785, and that he died in 1807.
There are no papers on file owing to their destruction as above stated when Washington was burned in 1814.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
Letter of inquiry returned.
